​

One the first day your child may have a hard time separating from you. It is ok, your child is in good hands at Casper’s. It is ok to call and check in on your child throughout the day. You can also access the Lillio app that we use to see activities, food, nap, 2-way communication with your educators and more.

Casper’s provides 2 nutritious snacks and a lunch. We provide water at snack and milk at lunch time. If milk or formula is needed for a bottle for your child, please provide milk or formula. For the children that are still at the centre at 5:30 we provide them with a little snack to get them through till supper time.

We try to have nap time 9-10 in the morning and 2:30 – 3:30 in the afternoon. We will not wake children up unless requested by the parents. We will follow parents routine to best we can. We will follow the children’s lead to when they are tired or hungry. Please communicate with the staff that are directly with your child on what your child can and can not eat. If you are just starting out with food please keep the educators updated on what you have tried so that we can provide your child with that food as well. If your child eats all table food we will give them what is made at the centre each day.

Casper’s staff follow proper hand washing and sanitizing techniques. We will also teach children proper handwashing before and after eating, after toileting and coming in from outside.

Each day there will be activities for your child that helps with social, cognitive, language, physical, creative and spiritual development. These activities will also follow what your child is interested in. Casper’s believes that children learn best through play. Play promotes quality early learning and care for all children. This gives children the opportunities to explore, examine and wonder about the environment around them. With Play and Exploration it helps our centre to have a home-like feeling. We use lots of natural loose parts and real materials for our activities.

Children are adventurous and curious through their play. Sometimes they get messy and we like to have messy play activities. We try to use washable materials when doing activities, sometimes they all do not wash out of clothes or off of hands. The educators try to create the most experiences for the children to be able to increase their skills and build on what they already know. Casper’s educators like to use real tools and materials.

 

Please label all items with your child’s name. You can order stickers and other labeling materials through our on going fundraiser with Mabel’s Labels.

Children get messy no matter what they are doing. Please dress them in clothing that can get dirty, and bring extra.

Make sure your child has a hat every day to go outside with.

Communicate with the educators about your child!!

We are excited to learn and grow with you and your child!! Welcome to the Casper’s Family!!
